From, the Enterprise (F7d.) Herald
Enterprise and vicinity was set all agog
on Thursday morning by the announcement
that long expected wedding, which was to
have occurred at Saulsville, few miles
east of this place, at $50 a. m, had been
declared off by the betrothed lady. Mr..
Harry Rhoades. formerly of this place,
latet of Titusville, and Miss Char
lotte Sauls. of Saulsville, were the
parties who intended that their
lives should be link of sweetness long
drawn out, but the fates decreed otherwise
All nature smiled on this suspicious morn
ing, and that any man, when his life was to
be gladdened, should fail to appear on time
and claim the lady whom he had wooed
and won with the ardor that belongs to
youth, is beyond the comprehension of all
except probably himself
AT ESQ m, the bright sun rose upon
the assembled wedding guests, the minister
was at hand, and the expectant lady, who
was to take upon herself the vows, It'll
death do us part" awaited in her boudoir
the coming of her Romeo. The minutes fed
and still he came not, and the wedding
guests possessed themselves OF that uneasi-
ness which is the foreruner of disappoiut-
ment while the love of the fair lady turned
TO anger. At last the one who was to have
cast her lot with a man of unfaith-
full promises, appeared upon the scene
and with sad, pale face, in
which the lineaments of determination
were plainly marked. announced to the
guests that there would be no wedding. The
minister departed, whether with or without
his fees it matters not, and many guests
wended their way homeward discussing in
eXorable fate with feryor; some, however,
stayed to sorrow with the would-be bride,
and were rewarded by seeing the man of
her choice coming to the house at a gallon,
three hours behind time.
No excuses, no signs, no persuasions, no
looks of love could change tine decision of
the outraged feelings of Miss Sauls, and
Mr.. Rhoades took his departure believing
that procrastination was not good for ones
soul, and feeling that his hope of happiness
HAD been nipped in the bud. The intended
bridegroom had boen told by the minister
whom he met at the depot, and who was to
unite the two hearts that they might beat
as one that the wedding was Off, but believ-
ing his powers of persuasion to be beyond
the average, he waited upon his Dulcinea
with the result as above stated. "The
course Of true love never did run smooth"

LfncoIn7s Prophetic Dream.

Ward H. Lamon in Philadelphia Tlmes.J
 There were only two or three listeners MT. Lincoln was in melancholy, neditat- i've mood. and had been silent for some time Mrs. Lincoln, who was present, rsl- lied him on his solemn visage and want of spirit, This seemed to arouse him, and without seeming to notice her sally, he said in slow and measured tones: "It seems strange how much there is in the Bible about dreams. There are, think, some six teen chapters in the Old Testament, and four or five in the New in which dreams are mentioned; and there are many other passages scattered throughout the book which refer to visions. If we believe the Bible we must accept the fact that in the old days God and his angels came to men in their sleep and made themselves known. Nova days dreams are regarded as very foolish, and are seldom told, except by old women and by young men and maidens in love-"
 Mrs. Lincoln here remarked: "Why, you look dreadfully solemn; do you believe in dreams?"
 q can't say that I do," returned Mir. Lincoln, ''but had one the other night which has haunted me ever since. After 1t occurred the first time I opened the Bible Strange as it may appear, it was on the 25th chapter of Genesis, which relates to the won derful dream Jacob had. turned to other passages, and seemed to encounter dream or vision wherever I looked. I kept on turning the leaves of the old book, and every where my eye fell upon passages recording matters strangely in keeping with my own thoughts-supernatural visitations. dreams, visions" etc.
 He now looked so serious and disturbed that Mrs. Lincoln exclaimed: "You frighten mel What is the matter?n
 clam afraid" said MT. Lincoln, observing the effect his words had upon his wife, "that have done wrong to mention the subject at all; but somehow the thing has got possession of me, and, like Banquo's ghost, 1t will not down."
 This only int1amed Mrs. Lincoln's curiosity the more, and while bravely disclaiming any belief in dreams she strongly urged him to tell the dream which seemed to take such hold upon him, being seconded In this by another listener. MT. Lincoln hesitated, but at length commenced very deliberately, his brow overcast with shade of melancholy.

THE WASTE BY FIRE.

The great waste caused by fires in this country is attracting just now g little more attention than usual, probably because this ye ar the loss has been greater than usual. For the first seven months not less than seventy-six millions of dollars went up in smoke, and if there is not an improvement during the other months this year will be the most disastrous in that respect on record.
 An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure in most cases and in the matter of waste by fire it is worth more than pound. In fact it is the only thing that will do any good, for while insurance companies are help ful the loss has to be borne by somebody. In Atlanta Georgia, system of prevention is in operation, and it seems to work very well. By the city ordinances no one is permitted to store in any receptacle in any building, cell lar, street, alleyway or yard longer than six hours any loose straw, hay, paper or other combustible matter. Rigorous inspections are required to secure the enforcement of the law, violations of which are visited with heavy penalties. It is also made the duty of the chief to examine frequently the stovepipes and chimneys of the city and he is armed with authority to force the remedy of all de- fects within twelve hours. Ashes are not allowed to remain in wooden receptacles. Atlanta has population of 60, 1000, is subject to high winds and built of porous bricks, yet in 1886, with 142 alarms, in only two in- stances did the damage to buildings exceed $1, 1000.
 Mr. Charles B. Whiting, president of one of the Hartford insurance companies, recent ly made some suggestions concerning the pre- vention of fires. He would have the chief engineer of fire department selected for fit ness alone, hold the place until disqualified by age, and be entirely independent of poli- tics. It should be made his duty to see that unsafe buildings or chimneys are not erected, to prevent the undue storage of combustibles and especially to cause the removal of old boxes and other rubbish from all cellars and back yards. And MT. Whiting would deter the iucendiary from firing his own property by the passage of laws prohibiting insurance companies from paying more than three quarters of any loss upon the premises where the flames originate. This might decrease but it would be unfair to an honest man.
 More care by all concerned is what is most needed to prevent fires. Most of the fires which occur are due to carelessness and are therefore preventible.

A Taste of 'sVOIapuk.o .o


 Count von Moltke is said to have pro- nounced in favor of "Volapuk." The new language seems about as attractive as Sclav- ie. One Vienna weekly paper devotes col umn in every issue to lessons Ia Ollendorff to the new study. Thus we are told in les son g: Feminine substantives are con- structed from the male ditto by preixing the syllable ii or of. If a substantive is used to designate 8 man with reference to his calling, the prefix ii is used when speaking of his wife, and the prefix of when speaking of 8 woman engaged in said calling. Thus tidel is teacher, jitidel is the wife of the teacher, and oftidel is a female teacher. Again, vo- bel is a workman, jivobel is the workman's wife, and ofvobel is the working woman. It may interest the reader to know that yunel is a youth, jimotel grandmother, son son, jison married daughter, and olson an un- married daughter. Nok is, further, an un- cle, jinok married aunt, and an ofnok is the unmarried aunt The words of Volapuk are selected from all known languages. The English contributes it's share. Thus sin and bad are the same in English and Volapuk; tim is time, hit is heat, and even the Eng fish word love seems to be discovered in alof, to love, alofob, loved. etc.

 In 8 certain town not 8 thousand miles from Cohoes, N. Y., lives 8 clergyman MT. -, who has an extremely interesting little daughter four years of age. Walking in the garden one day with her mother, she spied particularly large and ripe red raspberry, which had been overlooked by the visitors during the last donation party. Reaching out her hand towards the fruit she said: "Will God punish me If I pick this berry, mamma, without asking papa's consentg" "Yes, my child, replied her mother; lyon must remember that he sees every action, and that the berry is not yours." "Let her go Gallagher, and put down one berry to my purgatory balance," exclaimed the artless child, 'T can't stand the presh."

 The Charleston News and Courier gives Jeff Davis and his warm admirers some good advice when it says: When he speaks he is more likely than not to say what is irritating, and therefore noxious, and, though he were to utter the loftiest sentiments, he would be regarded as insincere, for the simple reason that his words and his acts are not in accord. The man who declines to be an American citizen and who takes pride in avoiding the responsibilities of citizenship should at least hold his tongue and curb his pen, instead of forcing his counsel and his grievances upon the consideration of those whose duties and obligations he is unwilling to share. Mir. and is at war with settled and unchangeable facts. If he is right, then J. E. Johnston, the Lees, Gordon, Beauregard, Colquitt, Nichols, Butler, Hampton, McGowan, the Vances. Payne, Cockerell and all the long line of Confederate soldiers and statesmen saving himself-are utterly and meanly wrong.
 A young clergyman who has been labor- ing in the mountain regions of Kentucky says: The ministers in the mountain regions are ignorant. They never preach when there is an educated person in the congrega tion, which seldom happens. The Metho- dist ministers are little better than the Baptists. They generally own bible and 8 concordance, but they think they know all there is to know. One minister who listen ed to the debate on the shape of the earth said I ought to be drummed out of the place for teaching such infidelity. One man asked me to go home with him and fix his clock. He thought because had been to college I could do anything. Luckily for me I hap pened to fix the clock so it would go. The ministers preach about once a month, but never think of doing so every Sunday. One minister knew i'd been in the penitentiary, and it was my impression that he ought to have remained there. The religious fervor of many of them is above one hundred, while their morality is at zero.
